Random Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Have been investigating high speed handling of the sabre and noticed that there is extreme visible flutter of the port wing above mach 0.9 at low altitude but the starboard wing remains completely stable. Will check if it happens at high altitude too when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabredog Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yeah, this is an awesome effect and absolutely not a bug! It also happens on both wings and at altitude. It seems more common lower down where the air is thicker though. Fantastic transonic flight modelling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Only the port wing. Also flutter of this magnitude would rip the wing off. Completely support flutter plus aeleron reversal but a FOOT of movement at the leading edge is wrong. As in the title its a visuals issue IMO Edited August 6, 2014 by Random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabredog Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Airframe stress damage is not modeled yet. I'm sure we'll be able to rip the wings off eventually! It looks like less than a foot of movement to me anyway. In fact it took me a while to spot at all so I wouldn't say the effect is particularly overdone.
